Zuk USB charger not charging past 1.4A

[JonnyAw]

I used ampere to test the charging speed of the OEM USB cable. From my results I see that at most I only receive 1.4A from the cable rather than the max of 2A available from the OEM adapter or my power bank which delivers max of 2.4A...

I was wondering if anyone noticed this, and if anyone has found another cable that can safely function up to at least 2Amps since the charging adapter was made to and is supposed to supply that much.

Whether that is so accurate? To measure the charging current one needs to have a calibrated device.

I think the charges gives less current when you're using your phone.

Calculate ma manually. For example leave your phone 10 min charging, see what the % was, and see what is the % now. If for example it has changed 10%, get what is 10% of 4100mah and divide it by 0,16 which is 10 minutes in hours. That would give a current of around 2500ma.

Yeah, you are right. I did a few more tests on my own and that seems to be the verdict.
